Hearing the Church Fathers Speak
Last week, I read a blog post which called for Christian theologians to focus anew on articulating the doctrine of the Trinity in response to recent challenges. In recent years, many Christians from non-liturgical traditions have shown renewed interest in more liturgical forms of worship. Modern society's can't-stop-for-breath pace has many people looking for ways to achieve greater simplicity, a deeper sense of community, a more thoughtful spirituality, and a more profound appreciation of the sacred. These are all areas where contemporary Christians can benefit from greater familiarity with the early church fathers. After all, they were the ones who first articulated Christianity's central teachings, established the church's liturgical practices, and wrestled with how best to live out their faith in the world.
Of course, the challenge of looking to the early fathers for guidance is knowing where to begin. The most familiar collection of their writings is a whopping 38-volumes! Few of us have the time or wherewithal to work our way through that body of literature systematically, and while Accordance's powerful search capabilities now make it easy to explore, it can still feel like you're visiting an alien world of unfamiliar people and ideas.
Thankfully, there are now some helpful resources to guide you in your discovery of the early church fathers. Not long ago, I blogged about the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture (ACCS), which arranges excerpts of patristic teaching into a running commentary on the text of the Bible. I compared the experience of reading this commentary to "attending a group Bible study and listening to the interplay of different perspectives." Consult this commentary a few times and you'll come to admire the fathers' Scriptural knowledge and exegetical skill—even if you don't always agree with their take on a passage.
The ACCS can give you various fathers' commentary on specific passages of Scripture, but two brand new resources offer a more topical introduction to the fathers.
Learning Theology with the Church Fathers, by Christopher Hall, offers a fascinating look into how the church fathers wrestled with the difficult theological controversies of their day. I started reading it the other day and frankly couldn't put it down. Hall goes beyond merely discussing historical theology; he manages to reveal the principle motivations and concerns of the people involved. The result is that one begins to see them not as esoteric philosophers discussing obscure points of theology, but as dedicated pastors who felt compelled to articulate what they understood to be the teaching of the apostles and of the Bible. In short, they become more human, and far more three-dimensional.
Worshiping with the Church Fathers, written by the same author, does much the same thing with respect to worship, prayer, and the sacraments. I haven't read as much of this one yet, but Hall's discussion of "the sacramental mysteries" in Chapter One is extremely helpful, not only for understanding the fathers, but also for understanding the way various Christian traditions differ in their view of the sacraments. After the sacraments, Hall turns to the fathers' teaching on prayer and personal discipline. The latter section deals with the desert fathers and early monastic movements, and from the bits I've skimmed looks absolutely fascinating.
In both of these books, Hall acts as a guide to the early fathers, helping modern readers understand where those early Christians were coming from. Hall is an effective guide precisely because he himself does not come from a tradition which places much emphasis on church history. As he puts it in Learning Theology with the Church Fathers:
The model of exegesis I had received and practiced as a young Christian was a highly individualistic affair. … I was shockingly unaware of the Christians who had read, pondered and interpreted these texts before me.
In other words, because Hall understands the assumptions of those who know little about the fathers, he does an excellent job of communicating the fathers' importance in a way they can understand and appreciate.
As you can see, I'm pretty excited about these resources. The contemporary church can learn much from the early church, and these new resources make it easier than ever to do so.
If you'd like to begin exploring the early church fathers yourself, all the resources I've just mentioned are on sale from now through March 15th. Be sure to take advantage of the discounted prices.

My Pizza Oven: Dave Konstantin
Q&A about home pizza ovens.
Dave Konstantin is the rep for Forno Bravo in the DC area. As you can imagine, he's also a huge pizza obsessive. As the ringleader of DC Elite Pizza, a club for wood-fired pizza enthusiasts in the Capital region. We put him in the hot seat here. —The Mgmt.
Name: Dave Konstantin
Location: Arlington, Virginia
URLs: Facebook, fornobravo.com/company/fb_dc.html, dcelitepizza.com
When did you put it in? Did you build it yourself or have someone build it?
I've had my Forno Bravo Casa 110 oven for about three years. It was expertly built by Bright Masonry of Falls Church, Virginia.
How often do you use it?
About twice a month spring through fall, and once a month during the winter if weather permits.
Do you cook anything besides pizza in it?
I roast chicken, meat, and vegetables, and also bake Italian bread.
What style of pizza do you normally do?
Strictly Neapolitan.
What's your favorite topping or topping combination to make?
I have a huge fig tree right next to my oven, so in season I make a nice pie with fresh figs, mozzarella, mascarpone, prosciutto di Parma, and mint.
Do you cook for friends/neighbors?
Absolutely. When you build a pizza oven, suddenly everyone is your friend—even people you were sure hated you!
Our neighbor's kids come to the fence with hungry looks and usually go back in with a couple of pizzas.
What does your family think of your pizza madness?
No complaints as long as the pies keep coming.
The Pizza Cognition Theory states that "the first slice of pizza a child sees and tastes ... becomes, for him, pizza." Do you remember your first slice? Where was it from, is the place still around, and if so, does it hold up? On that note, has your taste in pizza evolved over time?
I don't remember my very first slice, but I had many great New York–style pies at Venezia Pizzeria in East Norwalk, Connecticut (now long gone) while growing up. I compare every NY pizza I've eaten since to their sausage-and-mushroom. (No Coke, only "Pep-a-si" available.)
Where do you go for pizza in your area (when you're not making your own)?
Pizzeria Orso in Falls Church, Virginia [see Dave's review here]; 2Amys in Northwest D.C.; il Canale in Georgetown.
What one thing should NEVER go on a pizza?
Barbecue sauce.
Who would you like to see interviewed next?
Paul "Fio" Fiorino.
Awesome! Thanks for playing along, Dave.

eFiling in Orange County
Posted January 23, 2012 in Membership, Technology
e-filing. Just hearing the word is enough to make some court runners and attorney services get nervous; especially those attorney services earning a significant portion of their revenue from physical court filing. That being said, the demand for e-filing with the superior courts is on the rise.
When e-filing began in June of 2010, a single Electronic Filing Service Provider (EFSP) provided an interface for attorneys and individuals to electronically file documents directly with the court in Orange. Attorney services had to build their own e-filing interface to e-file with the court, or refer their clients to the Court's website for them to access the existing EFSP and obtain e-filing capability. As of January first of this year the types of cases that are required to be e-filed in Orange County has grown, and as such, so has the concerns amongst attorney services that cover Orange County that they would lose out on this portion of this business.
The concern can now be eased as there are additional EFSP's now available for electronic filing in Orange who allows third parties (attorney services) to e-file on behalf of their clients.
Now, if an attorney service has a document that needs to be e-filed with Orange County, they can set up an account and e-file through an EFSP by manually entering the information into their system. For some attorney services, this is another option, rather than building their own e-filing system or turning their clients away.
We have heard that other companies have built or are currently in the development stages of efiling systems where the law firm clients of an attorney service might have the option of doing the data entry and submitting it through their attorney service's site or a possibly a site with their attorney service's name and logo will be on it.
The CALSPro Technology Committee will be keeping a careful watch on the progression of efiling, and will continue to keep our membership informed of any new developments.

Who is he?
Maynerd is a likeable character who breathes calm, tranquillity and harmony. He is conscientious and reliable, qualities that contribute to his comfortable, reassuring presence. He is driven by a desire to please and to be liked in return, often feeling personally responsible for others - especially where his family are concerned, towards whom he sometimes feels certain obligations or constraints (karmic 2). Nevertheless, he is a man of principles and is generally of scrupulous nature, although he can often be quite obsessive and pernickety. This could be expressed by his clearly defined tastes or a certain refinement, but also by an inclination for excessive rites and habits, such as an exacerbated preoccupation with cleanliness and order, or perhaps a tendency to be excessively meticulous. His emotional life is important to him and Maynerd is a tender and sensitive soul who has a profound understanding of the meaning of friendship. Helpful and obliging, he makes a wonderful shoulder to cry on and gives excellent advice. However, he is rather selective in his personal relationships and doesn´t extend the hand of friendship to just anybody. While he is always there when he is most needed, he expects the same favour in return. Maynerd has trouble forgetting an insult or a betrayal, the memory of which remains present in his mind for a long time and can make him bitter and resentful. As a child, Maynerd is shy and very sensitive with a great need for tenderness and affection. He is well behaved, timorous, anxious and impressionable; and is often very attached to his family - especially his mother. A day-dreamer, he could often be described as a scatterbrain or having his head in the clouds. He is more likely to make an effort if he feels sufficiently loved and supported, and his school marks will be closely related to the amount of affinity that he feels with his teachers. He would benefit greatly from the practice of an artistic activity.
What does he like?
He seeks security and stability above all else, and appreciates all that is genuine and natural. Fond of material comforts and belongings, he is thrifty and possessive. His romantic life doesn´t always live up to his expectations. With the karmic 2, he experiences certain difficulties in his relationships; either due to his lack of flexibility and his domineering, controlling attitude or because his emotions play tricks on him. He is terribly demanding and could have trouble choosing a lover - between the beautiful Emily who is elegant but not very cultured, Verity who is worldly-wise but too cool and distant, and Sophie who is gentle and tender enough, but a little wet behind the ears for his liking!...
Get your free Personality test card now !!
What does he do?
When it comes to his career, Maynerd will be particularly attracted by the artistic and literary professions, or those in connection with esthetics and the sense of taste (gastronomy), the scientific professions or those connected with the land, nature and animals (miner, horticulturist, farmer, herbalist, engineer, physicist...), as well as occupations involving the giving of advice.

Welcome to My Personal Page
I'm working to end cancer … and I need your help!
On Saturday, May 13, 2017, I'm participating in the 12th annual Miles for Moffitt run/walk event. Every dollar of my registration fee … and every dollar my fundraising efforts bring in … go completely to support lifesaving cancer research at Moffitt Cancer Center. Moffitt researchers are at the very front lines of the effort to defeat cancer. They've already made so many amazing breakthroughs, and cancer patients here in Florida and around the world have benefited from their efforts.
But there's so much MORE work to do. So many MORE lives still to be saved!
That's why I'm asking you to support me in my Miles for Moffitt run. Whether you can give $10 or $1,000, every penny will help bring closer the day when cancer is beaten. Please do what you can to help. Thank you so much!

Justin Meldal-Johnsen
From nine inch nails wiki
Justin Meldal-Johnsen (born March 26, 1970 in Eugene, Oregon, USA), commonly known to fans as JMJ, is a session bassist, producer and songwriter, best known for his work with Beck. He has worked with a number of bands, including Garbage, Macy Gray, Tori Amos, Air, The Mars Volta, Courtney Love, Ladytron, The Foo Fighters, Frank Black and more. On June 5th, 2008, it was announced on nin.com that Meldal-Johnsen was part of the Nine Inch Nails live band.
Meldal-Johnsen was born to "hippie" parents who encouraged his love of art and music. The family moved to San Francisco, California, shortly after his birth. At the age of twelve, a family friend gave Meldal-Johnsen an old bass guitar, and with the combined influence of the then-new MTV, he learned to play guitar along to the music videos on the channel. He also played along to his and his parents' music collections, whatever he could get his hands on at the time.
In his high school years, Meldal-Johnsen began to branch out into discovering more "experimental" styles of music. He also joined his first band, which broke up before they even had a chance to play any gigs. He finished high school in 1987 as a straight-A student, and had higher education on the brain.
Upon completing high school, he got a job at Cherokee Recording Studio as a night-time janitor. The pay was paltry, the job was tedious, but it did come with the perk of getting to meet several of his favorite musicians, including Gene Simmons and Lou Reed. It was also there that he met string arranger David Campbell, who offered Meldal-Johnsen a job as his personal assistant. Meldal-Johnsen left the studio and found himself learning the intricacies of the music industry and beginning to forge his own career in music.
While under Campbell's wing, Meldal-Johnsen met Campbell's son, Beck, who was also an aspiring musician. They became quick friends and spent a lot of time together. Beck introduced Meldal-Johnsen to Tom Waits and American folk music, and showed him how to use a 4-track, which led to them recording some songs together.
Around this time, Meldal-Johnsen and a drummer friend found a guitarist by the name of Tony Hoffer, and they formed a band called Last Carousel, who made the rounds in the Los Angeles party and club scene, but didn't go very far from there. They recruited a new singer and renamed their band This Great Religion, and found more success than with their previous incarnation. They managed a "decent" following, which was difficult at the time as Los Angeles was primarily a mecca for "hair metal" bands. They released two 7" singles on Rough Trade records, toured college campuses, and played some shows in Japan before they split in 1993. While Hoffer and another member went to San Francisco, Meldal-Johnsen opted to remain in Los Angeles.
Between 1993 and 1995, Meldal-Johnsen began getting his footing as a musician-for-hire, playing in the studio with some artists, and touring with others. He worked with Circle Of Power and The Elastic Purejoy, among his other early session projects. At the end of 1994, he was offered the opportunity to join legendary rock band Medecine. Meldal-Johnsen appeared on the band's 1995 release, Her Highness, and joined them on a lengthy, grueling US tour. Medicine split in 1996 due to internal conflicts within the band.
Prior to Medicine's split, Meldal-Johnsen began collaborating with bandleader Brad Laner on a project called Electric Company. They recorded A Pert Cyclic Omen, which was released later in 1995. At the same time, Meldal-Johnsen joined Pet, who were later signed to Tori Amos' label and were allowed to record an album at Amos' home in Ireland in 1996.
In April of the same year, Beck—who himself had established a successful career—called Meldal-Johnsen and asked if he was interested in jamming together. Meldal-Johnsen soon realized it was an audition for Beck's touring band, which would be a full-time commitment. Meldal-Johnsen accepted the offer, and became a regular on Beck's albums and tours. Meldal-Johnsen went on to play on Mutations, Midnight Vultures, and Sea Change, and also became Beck's live music director. Hoffer was also called in from San Francisco to join the band at Meldal-Johnsen's suggestion, and would engineer and co-produce some parts of Midnight Vultures. Hoffer and Meldal-Johnsen were back as collaborators.
In addition to Beck, Meldal-Johnsen appeared on three of Amos' albums: From The Choirgirl Hotel, Strange Little Girls, and Scarlet's Walk. In 1998 he became a touring bassist with the French group Air in support of their debut, Moon Safari. He appeared on the band's second album, 10,000 Hz Legend.
When he hasn't been involved in any major jobs, Meldal-Johnsen has worked with several other artists in the studio. He co-wrote and recorded Macy Gray's 2003 release, The Trouble With Being Myself. In addition, he's done remixes for several artists and scores for a handful of films.
In 2002, Meldal-Johnsen formed Ima Robot, and got a major-label deal in the same year. Their debut album was released in 2003, and the band toured extensively with several bands during that time.
In 2008, Meldal-Johnsen's friend Josh Freese told him of an available position in Nine Inch Nails following a sudden departure of a recently recruited member. Meldal-Johnsen auditioned before NIN founder Trent Reznor and was given the position of bassist and multi-instrumentalist. He toured with NIN though 2009.
Meldal-Johnsen currently lives in Los Angeles.

Why have your gown altered at David's Bridal?
David's Bridal gowns are designed to fit. In fact, we offer the best fit in the industry, backed by more than 60 years of experience. But even the best designed gowns still need some adjustment.

And when you bring your gown to David's Bridal, you know it will be returned on time in pristine condition.

Customize your gown by adding your own personal touches!
David's Bridal offers many ways to customize your gown and make it your own. Here are a few design elements you may consider:
Sleeves: We can add straps or sleeves to any strapless gown.
Corset backs: If your gown has a back zipper and you wish to change the look or need to increase the size, ask your alterations specialist to show you the corset back option.
Bustles: A bustle is created by elegantly draping and securing the train to the back of your gown to allow you to move freely and safely. Our experienced specialists can create the look that's just your style, from simple and subtle to intricate and detailed. See Bustle Options.
Bows & Sashes: Add a colorful sash to accent your waist and coordinate with your party.
Schedule your fitting at the time you purchase your gown or dress
If you purchase your gown at davidsbridal.com, you can schedule an alterations appointment at the David's Bridal near you - there are over 300 convenient locations nationwide. See store locator.
What you should expect at your first fitting appointment
First fitting appointments take one hour for a wedding gown and a half hour for a bridesmaid or special occasion dress.
The dress will be fitted and pinned to show you the best alterations for an ideal fit. For long wedding gowns with a train, you will be shown bustle options. During the appointment, the fees for recommended alterations will be discussed so you can agree upon the look that best suits your needs and budget. You will receive a copy of the alterations ticket, pay for the alterations, and schedule your pickup fitting appointment.
Complimentary pressing
We offer complimentary pressing or steaming once alterations are completed. If garments will be altered elsewhere, we will press or steam the garment before it leaves our store, however we cannot perform these services after garments have been altered outside of David's Bridal.
How much will alterations cost?
Our goal is to perfect the fit of your garment while staying within your budget. The cost of alterations is based on the complexity and difficulty of each task, so an alterations specialist will need to see you in the garment to discuss fit enhancements and options. Please contact the closest David's Bridal location for a free alterations consultation.
Payment for alterations is due at the time of your first fitting. Additional charges apply to rush orders needed within 3 weeks or less. Remember to budget the cost of alterations and bustling when choosing the gown of your dreams. For example, you might get a great deal on a clearance style that is not the correct size, but complex alterations could cost the amount you saved. And if your gown has a long train, bustling is necessary to move freely and comfortably during your reception.

When you hear the name of Woodrow Wilson, the twenty-eighth president of the United States, what do you think of? His 1912 campaign slogan "The New Freedom"? His success in the three-way contest over Republican incumbent William Howard Taft and Bull Moose candidate Theodore Roosevelt? His 1916 campaign slogan "He kept us out of war"? The project of "making the world safe for democracy"? Perhaps the Fourteen Points? The faintly sinister figure of Wilson's advisor Colonel House or his White House courtship of his second wife? The treaty of Versailles or the League of Nations? The 1919 Nobel Peace Prize? No, I don't think so. As a habitué of The Science League of America, you probably think of his famous comment, "of course, like every other man of intelligence and education, I do believe in organic evolution. It surprises me that at this late date such questions should be raised." Good for you.
What convinced Wilson of evolution? Probably not his education at Davidson College, Princeton University, the University of Virginia, and the Johns Hopkins University, where he earned a doctorate in history and political science. According to Cary T. Grayson, who served as his personal physician in the White House and wrote a memoir on "The Religion of Woodrow Wilson" after his death, "As an undergraduate in college he was not deeply interested in natural science. His mind was more occupied with political science and with literature. At no time in his life did he read deeply in natural science," although Grayson added, "He accepted the evolutionary hypothesis, and when he was a young man, about the time of his entrance into Johns Hopkins University and earlier, he was actively interested in it." Instead, it was probably the influence of his uncle James Woodrow (1827–1907), a leading Presbyterian theologian of his day, whom Wilson regarded as one of the greatest men he ever knew.
James Woodrow was interested in both theology and science. He became a professor of natural sciences at Oglethorpe University in Georgia, after spending a summer at Harvard University studying with Louis Agassiz, arguably then the country's greatest scientist, and later studied various scientific topics at Heidelberg University, where he received a Ph.D. in 1856. But he also studied theology and Hebrew while he was teaching at Oglethorpe University, and was ordained a Presbyterian minister in 1859. Two years later, he became the Perkins Professor of Natural Sciences in Connexion with Revelation—a title that must have been difficult to fit on a visiting card—at Columbia Theological Seminary in Columbia, South Carolina. He was the first Perkins Professor: the resolution that called for the position to be established complained, "We live in an age in which the most insidious attacks are made upon revealed religion, through the Natural sciences."
In his inaugural address as the Perkins Professor, Woodrow announced his intention of addressing points of potential conflict between science and religion. These were mainly geological in nature; 1861 was a little early for the Origin of Species to have started to worry the Southern intelligentsia, especially with the Civil War on the horizon. Clement Eaton, writing in the Journal of Southern History (1962), summarized: "Woodrow stated his belief that nothing would be found in modern science inconsistent with the teaching of the Bible, and he affirmed his belief in the authenticity of the literal word of the Sacred Scriptures. Finally, he made a strong appeal for freedom of inquiry and discussion and declared that in carrying out the duties of the new professorship he would exercise an 'untrammeled freedom of inquiry.'" Woodrow was later to discover to what extent he was able to exercise that freedom with regard to evolution.
Woodrow was slow—and reluctant—to accept evolution, perhaps owing in part to the influence of Agassiz. But he had come to accept the evidence that the earth was ancient, and indeed to have squabbled with fellow theologians about their rejection of it. And he had found that scientists in Europe were accepting evolution en masse. He didn't take a stand, however, until his hand was forced by the board of directors of Columbia Theological Seminary, which, alarmed by rumors that he accepted evolution, formally asked him in 1883 to explain his views on evolution "as it respects the world, lower animals, and man." He wasn't the only academic to run afoul of theologically conservative administrations: as Eaton notes, the geologist Alexander Winchell had been dismissed from Vanderbilt University in 1878, just five years previously, because his polygenist pamphlet Adamites and Preadamites (1878) was insufficiently biblical.
The young Wilson was paying attention. In 1884, he wrote to his sweetheart, Ellen Louis Axson, "If Uncle J. is to be read out of the Seminary, Dr. McCosh ought to be driven out of the church, and all private members like myself ought to withdraw. If the brethren of the Mississippi Valley have so precarious a hold upon their faith in God that they are afraid to have their sons hear aught of modern scientific belief, by all means let them drive Dr. Woodrow to the wall." Wilson was then a recent graduate of Princeton University, when its president was James McCosh, one of the first American religious leaders to embrace evolution, although as a Presbyterian minister he interpreted it as corroborating his faith. McCosh served as president of Princeton University until 1888, with his views on evolution exciting no particular controversy. As for how Woodrow fared at Columbia Theological Seminary, it will be the topic of part 2.

The Csepel neighborhood of Budapest is a 2,000-acre sprawl of working-class apartments and factories. A large swath of the district used to be solely the domain of heavy industry, where each street took its name from the goods produced inside the mostly abandoned brick buildings lining its curbs.

It is here, in a nondescript building on Bicycle Street, blocks from Power Station Street and Petroleum Street, where a handful of engineers are building a bicycle from another world.
The Stringbike is a cat's cradle of alien beauty, a vehicle devastating in its mechanical elegance. Mounted on a sinuous white frame (it also comes in black) the Stringbike's drivetrain is made up of a triangular aluminum swinging arm connected via colorful Dyneema strings to spring-loaded hubs mounted on the rear axle. You pedal it like you'd pedal a regular bike, and the weird shape of the inside of the swinging arm converts your circular pedaling into a horizontal back-and-forth motion. This force is relayed to the rear by the Dyneema strings, which pull on the hubs and rotate the rear axle.
There are two identical drivetrains on each side of the bike, offset by 180 degrees so the pedals can provide continuous power. There's a complete lack of gears, chains and oil stains.
The Stringbike company is run as a skunkworks inside the Schwinn-Csepel bicycle factory, which also makes conventional bikes. On a tour of the factory, Robert Kohlheb, the 46-year-old co-inventor of the Stringbike, can't help but roll his eyes when I compare the signature visual component of his avant-garde bicycle drivetrain, the triangular aluminum swinging arm, to the triangular cast-iron rotor of a Wankel engine.
But the comparison is inevitable. Felix Wankel invented his internal combustion engine in 1929, half a century after Nikolaus Otto designed the gasoline-powered four-stroke engine, and while the Wankel is smaller, lighter, simpler and fabulously more elegant than the Otto, it is still the latter which powers the vast majority of cars today. The Wankel was instead relegated to vintage German sports saloons and hot Mazdas. It came to the scene too late.
"Too late" is not what you think when you first see a Stringbike in the flesh. The term that more quickly comes to mind is "beautiful." It is at once simple and headache-inducingly Goldbergian.
On a test ride, my first pedal strokes are ungainly and self-conscious as I leave the factory. The road into the city is rough and potholed. Then, within a few minutes, a magical transformation happens. I realize that pedaling a Stringbike is much like pedaling any other bike. Once I stop thinking about the uncanny mechanism beneath and behind my feet, I pick up speed and I'm soon pedaling just as I would on every bike I ride: like a maniac. It's only when I glance at my feet that I get a slight sense of vertigo from all the weirdness down there, the aluminum swinging arms going back and forth, blue strings unwinding and pulling back.
I head out of noisy Csepel, bombing down one of Budapest's boulevards toward the city's 19th-century velodrome. The route takes in a section of the 1930s Grand Prix circuit. During the ride, the Stringbike is strong, supple and, most of all, silent. There are no chains and gears to clack and rattle. The only sound is the soft clicking of the spring-loaded rear hubs. I'm told it's normal. There are 19 gears, operated with a regular, handgrip-mounted gearshift, which moves the Dyneema strings' anchor points on the swinging arms.
I love the Stringbike. It's wildly original, it's beautiful and it requires very little maintenance — if you somehow manage to break one of its super-strong Dyneema strings, each costs only a few dollars to replace and you can do it yourself. But it's expensive enough (prices start at around $3,500) to preclude it from becoming a regular city bike, and it's a microscopic drop in the vast sea of bicycles out there. At the time of my visit to the company last fall, two dozen bikes had been sold.
It wouldn't be a terrible fate for the Stringbike to achieve the same cult status as Mazda's Wankel-powered sports cars. It's a bicycle for those who love out-there designs, and who don't mind shelling out used-car money for something that rides pretty much like a regular bicycle, but which looks and feels like the promise of a world where clever engineering always trumps the status quo.
If it gets the cold shoulder, it won't be for lack of determination from the company. It's already working on a carbon fiber frame that would cut a full ten pounds from the Stringbike's current 28-pound curb weight. Hungarian ultramarathoner Ferenc Szőnyi is going to ride it in the insane Race Across America.

Well, they ARE $4.00 a friggin' box, so I can almost understand the upset. ;) When I sold them they were only .75 a box. I bought only 2 boxes this year and think I won't buy any next year. They are good, but come on...I spent $8.00 on cookies? I must be nuts.

Don't get me wrong, I do love Thin Mints, BUT I do not see paying that much for however few cookies you get. I discovered Keebler Fudge Shoppe Grasshoppers are just as good for a lot less money! The grocery store has regular sales where you can get them for around $2.00!

- February 23, 2011 at 4:43 PM
Yeah anonymous, it's the girl scouts, but they're still damn expensive cookies! I know girl scout leaders who won't even buy them! The local troops only get 10 - 15 percent of each box sold.
In case anyone feels like buying me some, my favorites are the Samoas or Caramel deLites, depending on what state you are in. Man, those are soooo good.
I was a girl scout for 11 years. Grades 2 (they didn't have Daisy's then, had to start in 2nd grade as a Brownie) through 12, then I worked (paid job!) for the council for a year and had to register as a scout in order to get paid. Job was interesting...I worked with inner city girls in non-traditional troops. Parents were drug deals and prostitutes and we were located in a scary part of town but I never felt unsafe. The parents knew me because I worked with their kids and they liked me. Nobody was going to let anything happen to me.
Anyway, I just got off track there. And I think I want a cookie.

You're not paying just for the box of cookies guys ... they have always been more expensive than (most) store cookies for a reason.

"Hey, doc, sorry to wake you up at this hour. You don't know me, but my cousin's brother-in-law works with one of your patients. Or something like that. Anyway, can I have a script for some Thin Mints and some Samoas?"

I'd rather just give them cash. They'd end up with more. And no cookie fights! lol

Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing;
'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my Thin Mints
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed.

As far as I know, you can just give cash. I was a troop leader for my daughter for a number of years and pushed the Gift of Caring where you can pony up the money (currently $3.50 in our council in Middle TN) to donate a box to a non-profit group. This year the council is donating to the soldiers at Fort Campbill. In years past they've donated to the local food bank, the Red Cross and so on.
comashl - what I go into after a couple of boxes of Tagalongs... mmmmm
- February 24, 2011 at 2:39 PM
As a former Girl Scout, regardless of my fondness for Thin Mints, I will not buy them.
The girls get tiny profits from all that work--it goes mostly to cover the expenses of the ridiculous bureaucracy.
Hand the girls some cold hard cash and save your waistline.

Powder Application Methods Offer Improvement and Perfection
Concurrent with the technological advancements made in the formulation of powder coatings, are new and innovative ways to apply the powder, and improve powder application efficiency. Details on these application methods follow.
#masking #curing
Faster Color Changes
Recent developments in the equipment used for powder application have significantly reduced the time, effort, and capital cost required for color changes. Efforts to increase application efficiency, streamline the powder delivery system, and redesign the booth have all contributed to speeding up the color change process. Properly designed, operated and maintained powder systems can change colors in a matter of minutes. Powder booths with plastic walls that repel rather than attract the powder, curved booth walls to discourage powder accumulation, automated belts and sweepers which brush powder particles on the floor to recovery systems, and powerful bursts of air through the pumps and guns to clean the system, have all helped to speed up color change operations. Innovations include blow-off nozzles set up at each gun barrel and easily changed connections at the back of the gun outside the booth. A new approach using high density powder and low volume air aids in faster color change, helps increase transfer efficiency, and provides better coverage for difficult parts while using less powder. Some high-production powder systems apply dozens of colors, with up to 20 color changes per day.
Coil Coating
Coil coating technology for powder continues to be developed, which is the coating on one or both sides of flat metal sheets or strips on a continuous production line basis which are then cut and post-formed. Coil coating with powder can produce deep textures in a single pass, and unique visual effects not possible with liquid coil coating. It is used for a variety of products, such as appliances, lighting fixtures, window and door frames, solar sun screens, and other building components.
Featured Content
Blank Coating
Powder coating of pre-cut metal blanks which are then post-formed prior to final assembly remains a strong growth area, particularly in the appliance market. This process allows for complete edge wrap, uniform film thickness, and high transfer efficiency as blanks can be spaced only inches apart on the coating line.
Radiation Curing
Radiation curing is the curing of a coating by means of exposure to electromagnetic waves or particles such as infrared, ultraviolet, or electron beam. Radiation curing opens up new applications for the powder coating of heat-sensitive substrates such as wood, wood-based materials, plastic parts, and assembled components with heat-sensitive details by reducing the curing temperature below 250°F. The coating of metal substrates can also benefit from this technology, with lower energy and investment costs, shorter curing times, and higher line speeds in powder coil coating plants.
IR Curing
Infrared ovens use radiant energy to cure the powder on the part, sometimes in as little as 30 seconds. The high heating rates possible in an infrared oven allow the surface to be heated without heating the entire substrate, providing a rapid heat-up and quick cool-down.
Ultraviolet Curing
Using specially formulated powders, curing by ultraviolet light is achievable. The powder needs to be exposed to enough heat so it is molten when exposed to ultraviolet energy. The heat source is typically infrared but convection heating can also be used. The coating is then exposed to a lamp that directs UV light onto the product. The photoinitiators, part of the coating, absorb the UV energy from the ultraviolet light source and initiate a series of chemical reactions that rapidly convert the molten film to a solid cured finish in a matter of seconds.
Near Infrared Curing
Newly developed near-infrared curing technology uses specially formulated powders, high energy light sources and high focusing reflector systems, completing the powder coating and curing process within several seconds. Heat-sensitive assembled parts such as internal gaskets, hydraulic cylinders, and air bag canisters can benefit from near-infrared curing. This process also allows swift curing times on metal substrates with no film thickness limitations, especially with colors like yellow or red which are difficult to cure in higher film thicknesses with current UV-powder coatings.
Electro-Magnetic Brush Technology
A relatively new application process, called electro-magnetic brush technology, makes it possible to apply powder coatings at differential speeds and layer thicknesses on flat substrates, on both conductive and non-conductive substrates. This process is similar to that used in photocopiers and laser printers, with "toner" particles triboelectrically charged against the ferromagnetic "carrier" particles, and transported with mixing rollers to a rotating shell or drum, which has stationary magnets within it. The ferromagnetic particles form a chain as directed by the magnetic field lines, also called a magnetic brush. The substrate becomes powder coated as it passes by the magnetic brush and the electrostatic field is turned on. Thicker layers can be achieved by passing the substrate by the magnetic brush more than once. Application areas include the coating of coil, blanks, and even wood.
In-Mold Coating
An in-mold powder coating process has been developed in which powder coating material is sprayed onto a heated mold cavity before the molding cycle begins. During the molding operation, the powder coating chemically bonds to the molding compound and produces a product with a coating that is chip and impact resistant.
In-The-Field Powder Coating
Thermoplastic powders can be applied in the field, provided the substrate is clean and pre-heated properly. Bridge support columns and steel sidewalks have been coated successfully. Also pipe joints coated in the shop have been shipped to the field, welded together, and followed by the application of flamespray powder to the weld seams and pipe joints, creating a seamlessly coated pipe that is corrosion resistant.
Combining Technologies
Some finishing operations have developed ways to use powder coating in tandem with electrocoat and liquid finishing lines, using powder basecoats and liquid topcoats, for instance. This combined technology not only provides a more environmentally compliant finishing process than is achievable with a liquid-only finishing operation, but can result in new colors or effects not available in liquid or powder alone.
Advances in microprocessors and robotics are also allowing increased production in powder coating facilities. Robots are typically used where an operation must be repeated for each workpiece on the line. The clearcoat being applied to BMW automotive body panels benefits from a complex series of twists and bends of a robotic gun, programmed to even shut the car door during the clearcoat application. When combined with analog powder output and voltage controls, robots can adjust powder delivery settings in the midst of coating a part, maneuvers too difficult to be accomplished manually.
Other Innovations
Application equipment manufacturers are also working to develop equipment that will deliver lower film builds to increase yields, increase first pass transfer efficiency, and further automate the powder coating application process.
Some companies monitor and control their powder coating operations by a modem linked to a remote computer. On-line process monitoring for automatic control of powder coating lines will become more important in years to come.
Nanotechnology has the potential of revolutionizing the manufacturing process just as the invention of the transistor and digital technology have in the past. This technology will likely change and further improve powder coating application methods in the near future.
All of these advances, plus the inherent advantages of working with powder, ensure that powder coatings will have a permanent and ever-increasing share of the industrial finishing market.

Masking for Surface Finishing
Masking is employed in most any metal finishing operation where only a specifically defined area of the surface of a part must be exposed to a process. Conversely, masking may be employed on a surface where treatment is either not required or must be avoided. This article covers the many aspects of masking for metal finishing, including applications, methods and the various types of masking employed.

A former Morenci man was sentenced in Fulton County for fleeing police after he stole a vehicle last March.
Frederick Allen, 24, was sentenced to 18 months in prison following his conviction for failing to comply with the order or signal from a police officer.
On March 10, 2012, Allen stole a vehicle parked in front of the Eagle Funeral Home in Morenci and drove into Fulton County. A sheriff's department deputy observed the vehicle moving erratically on the road and started following it.
The pursuit of the vehicle finally ended near Toledo Express Airport in Lucas County when the car struck a utility pole and rolled over several times.
Three law enforcement agencies were involved in the incident.

Yesterday was a happy mail day - part of the bidesmaids gifts arrived, as well as our personalized napkins ordered from the knot shop. How cute are they? They are a very pale blue and we'll alternate them with plain apple green napkins to incorporate both of our colors.
Our cake topper is coming along, courtesy of FI. I ordered the custom letter from Crafty Eddy and purchased the 3mm, flat back clear rhinestones at a local craft store. I had planned on doing it myself but, FI volunteered and he's been doing a great job!
A close-up. He painted both sides with metallic silver acrylic paint before starting in on the stones. This photo was taken the first night and he finished tonight (pics to come)! As for the guest list, I think we finally have it down (with the exception of the still missing response from our priest and his wife) and will be able to start working on seating soon. I think I may just go with the February knotties suggestions of using an online chart so that we can easily move people around on screen. Wish us luck!!!
Lastly, I have been truly struggling to find the perfect wedding gift for FI. He says he wants a watch but isn't specific about what type (not helpful), has shot down other thoughts I had (custom Steelers jersey) but, by fate, tonight I came across anthoer knottie's bio that gave me an idea. FI is a bridge engineer and is, well, obsessed with bridges. She had these in her bio with a link to the etsy seller - a silk tie screen printed with an image of the G.W. Bridge: I just convo'ed the seller and and hoping that they get back to me telling me a custom print job is possible before the wedding. Now, that doesn't solve the whole gift issue but, it's a start!
*UPDATE* They can get the tie to me, on time! Wheeeeee :-)


text: Well as said in the thread about the MGA Geo-Rally, there are those of us that are considering a Jeep Geo Rally, going after off road caches. I don't think it would be a race like event though, as i think it is more fun to go off roading in groups. How many people would be interested in doing something like this??

Hacking suspect set to plead in Koch cyberattack
Hacking suspect faces change-of-plea hearing in Koch Industries cyberattack conspiracy
WICHITA, Kan. — A Wisconsin trucker who joined a cyberattack on Wichita-based Koch Industries has admitted his role in the onslaught that took the website offline for about 15 minutes.
Thirty-seven-year-old Eric Rosol, of Black Creek, Wis., pleaded guilty Wednesday to one misdemeanor count of accessing a protected computer.
The parties have agreed that the direct loss from the attack staged by the computer hacking group Anonymous is less than $5,000. Koch contends it spent $183,000 for a consulting group when it learned of the planned attack.
It will be up to a federal judge to decide at the Dec. 2 sentencing how much in restitution Rosol must pay.
Defense attorney Kurt Kerns says they're thankful to resolve the case through a misdemeanor that will allow Rosol to move on with his life.

I like Dick. I mean Richard.
3.5? What the hell's a Scout? Isn't that an NPC class? How do you get 30 Dex? Dafuk?!
|2016/12/19, 03:32:44
|#124 (post thread)
I see what you did there, but you can't naturally have 30 in an attribute naturally as a "normal" PC class. Gosh!
|2016/12/19, 05:25:40
|#126 (post thread)
You can min-max as much as you want, but I've never seen anyone with 20+ in a stat without having Legendary/Epic level status. lel

Scotia has 29 dex. 23 is natural. +6 gloves of dexterity on top of that.
Let me take you through the process. We used point-buy for character creation so I dumped charisma and strength pretty hard, kept +2 wisdom (spot, listen, will saves) and +3 intelligence (in a party this small I have to do double duty as rogue and fighter, so skill points are essential). We started at level nine, so I was able to get 20 dexterity by buying up to 18, taking the level four and eight attribute bumps both in dex (and later the level 12 one, as we are currently level 12), and then since I'm a fire elf I get +2 dexterity. Add the +6 gloves of dex (which were +4 at the time the campaign started, they were upgraded to +6 after we walked out of the Tomb of Horrors with about 200,000 GP worth of loot and raw coin).
Scout is in Complete Adventurer. It's a fairly mediocre class, but I built him on the fly. I'll give you guys a breakdown of the party in more detail than the video goes into:
At this point, Scotia is level eleven Scout, level one Planar Ranger. I am the skill monkey and primary damage-dealer for the party. Scouts are a bit like rogues and a bit like fighters; they have an ability called Skirmish where if you move ten feet during your turn and attack, you get a handful of D6s to add to your weapon damage and an armor class bump. This ability Scotia has improved with a feat called Improved Skirmish which gives him extra damage and AC if he moves 20 feet.
Furthermore, the DM is an incredibly experienced 3.5 DM and we've been designing our own feats or pulling them from Pathfinder to help balance our three-person party, so we added one that allows me to add dex to damage and allow me to pull double duty as the fighter/rogue. He has been using a lot of third party materials and epic level stuff to mess with us.
The planar ranger level is because skirmish is precision damage, and a lot of enemies are immune to precision damage, but if you take a feat called Swift Hunter, you can stack Ranger/Scout levels for the purposes of favored enemies and/or skirmish. So, if you're Scout 11/Ranger 1 and you have swift hunter, you have twelve ranger levels for the purposes of determining your number of and bonuses to favored enemies. If I select enemies that are normally immune to precision damage, such as undead, oozes, plants or constructs, I can apply my skirmish damage to them in combat.
Scotia dies constantly because he's a melee build and I have reasonably low HP. At this point in the campaign, I'm in need of resurrection roughly every other game, but such is the life of the one character in the party who engages in direct combat.
Lucien is a wizard who is played by my friend who is the best magic users I've ever had the pleasure of playing an RPG with, with the exception of the guy who's DMing this campaign. What he and I have learned from min-maxing this character is for wizard, you want to prestige class early and often because there are a LOT of really good ones for wizard. I don't have his character sheet in front of me, but he's wizard/fate spinner/geometer at least, with his eyes on eventually getting into archmage. He's a very versatile spellcaster with +7 intelligence and knowledge ranks so high he regularly roles into the fifties on some of them. Generally he preps as a utility caster and if we run into trouble I can handle it, or we retreat, come back the next day with disintegrate prepared three times and he and I combo whatever enemies there are to death. Since his geometer level, he has his entire spellbook tattooed on his body in a series of nigh-indecipherable geometric patterns that sear your eyes or something if you attempt to read them without his permission, which is awesome.
He is a grey elf, and in our shared backstory he and I have been a traveling partnership for about a decade, spending most of our time being racist towards other pretty much everyone who isn't a full-blooded elf and raiding tombs together with me handling the trap dodging, disarming and monster subduing, and him handling the magical puzzles, information collection and banishing of the odd demon.
During our first session, we spent the first three hours or so building our characters and the guy playing Richard finished pretty quickly. While I was deep into research on how to get my dexterity as absurdly high as possible, he had decided that if the other player and I were going to specialize so heavily, he should try to remain as broad as he could, able to cover any additional ground that the two of us couldn't. Therefore he made himself sort of okay at everything, including being a cleric with 16 wisdom, which now that we're about to hit level thirteen, is going to be a problem because he's going to stop meeting the prereqs for casting divine spells. He's a half-orc with a mace. He throws the mace, the mace comes back. He unkills me quite regularly and removes the strange poisons that regularly find their way into my body. It's not exactly ground-breaking stuff, but it's very much needed and he can do things like back me up in melee combat if he doesn't have any healing to do, or assist Lucien with spellcrafting, dispeling magic or anything else that overlaps in the divine/arcane worlds.
Further, we have two girls that come when they're available, one who is brand new to RPGs who plays a succubus, since we were desperately in need of anyone with charisma (I have -2, Lucien has -1, and Richard has +1, she has +13) and one who plays a Samurai. She doesn't play with us much anymore (in this game; we have five or so different RPGs going on right now and she plays in three and runs one) but was a pretty straight melee fighter whose lawful good alignment regularly ran afoul of our more... chaotic neutral plans.
Honestly, the best stuff in the video series is yet to come. We spend an inordinate amount of time outside of the Tomb of Horrors basically fucking up the world, then upon exiting have a series of amusing and bumbling adventures, including one session that had us and the group of people that came to watch laughing so hard that I threw up. I really hope we can capture the feel of the table that night, but it's going to be fucking tough.
Happy to clarify further questions, but will probably have to ask the other players if you have anything wildly specific about their characters.

I assume Starling is referring to the Silence from Doctor Who.

"The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain. If you can't lick 'em, join 'em. If it hurts, repeat it. But to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else. We have almost lost hold; we can no longer describe happy man, nor make any celebration of joy."
-Ursula K. Le Guin, "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas"
"I never knew a man could tell so many lies
He had a different story for every set of eyes
How can he remember who he's talking to?
'Cause I know it ain't me, and I hope it isn't you"

Oh, you mean Bodaks? You can find them on page 28 of the 3.5e Monster Manual (the first one.) As for specific stories including them,, wouldn't have a clue.

Yes, those. See the resemblance? I figure something that creates more of itself whenever it kills someone with its gaze would make for some interesting if very life threatening situations.

I just ran my first Pathfinder session and I'm feeling pretty good about it. A bunch of people who normally play in my D&D group aren't going to be around much longer so I'm trying to bring in some new people. My friend who has never played an RPG before joined tonight, and despite the self-doubt inherent in a total D&D newbie, he had a pretty intuitive grasp on the whole process.

DMing Call of Cthulhu was alright! I'm making my way through Doors to Darkness each month before moving onto some of my own stuff hopefully. I've been really impressed with the quality of the COC 7th edition stuff so far; all really nice hardcovers with great art.

It could have gone worse, actually; luckily there were several experienced players who knew how to steer the group and make some actual decisions. It was very hard to give everyone a decent amount of attention in a three hour game though and I came away feeling like a few people barely got to do anything. Wish I'd pushed back a bit more when the other guy said he was going to fold his game and send the extra players my way but oh well, it was a good learning experience.
The game itself was Missed Dues – the ganster-themed Cthulhu adventure that comes with the Keeper screen set. People seemed to really respond to that combination quite well, which was a little bit surprising, but it helps that it's also a well designed adventure with a free-roaming structure and lots of opportunities for actual investigation work. Worth checking out if you see someone running it at a Con.

Roseola is a contagious viral illness that results a high fever and a rash that develops as the fever resolves. The disease is also called roseola infantum or sixth disease. It because it most commonly affects children under 2 years of age. .
It may take between 5 to 15 days for a child to develop symptoms of roseola after being exposed to the virus. A child is probably most contagious during the period of high fever, before the rash occurs. The following are the most common symptoms of roseola:
High fever that starts suddenly
Fever may reach 105°F
Fever lasts 3 to 5 days and then abruptly goes away
Swelling of the eyelids
Rash (as the fever decreases, a pink rash, with either flat or raised rash, starts to appear on the abdomen and then spreads to the face, arms, and legs)
Swollen glands
Ear pain
Decreased appetite
Febrile seizures are relatively common in children with roseola. Febrile seizures occur when a child's temperature rises rapidly. While febrile seizures are generally not harmful, they can be very scary. Not every child with a high temperature is at risk for a febrile seizure. Febrile seizures occur in about 3% of children under the age of 5 and may run in families.
The symptoms of roseola may look like other skin conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's health care provider for a diagnosis.
Roseola is usually diagnosed based on a medical history and physical exam of your child. The rash of roseola that follows a high fever is unique to roseola.
The goal of treatment for roseola is to help decrease the severity of the symptoms. Since it is a viral infection, there is no cure for roseola. Treatment may include:
Increased fluid intake
Dress child with fever in light clothing
Use acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever (Do not give aspirin. Giving aspirin to children may cause a dangerous condition called Reye syndrome.)

Weird spongy texture....husband likes them, I don't. Maybe better without the baking soda?
Dec 31, 2015
Yummy, easy. Better than something from the store.
Feb 26, 2013
I have joined the taste of home just so I could enjoy having the benefits and to review this recipe. I have never written a review before; but these cookies are so good, I had to send in a review. The cookie is moist and is perfect with the mint filling. I was afraid there was not enough icing, but it was the perfect ratio. I wanted to test them before St Patrick's Day. I thought I would freeze them, but they were gone in short order. These are a keeper.
Dec 23, 2011
These inflated a lot and the shape got distorted. Need to hardly press any dough out of the cookie press to assure this doesn't happen. Tasted good and were festive looking.
Dec 23, 2009
the frosting is very buttery and the cookies are dry-ish.
Jul 29, 2009
I love spritz cookies, I have made these, but I have used can frosting and even used melted chocolate, I do alot of baking, so this is alot easier and quicker, will make again. cupcake

Ive got this homework to do concerning magic squares. Could anyone help me out on the C++ code for this problem?
An n by n matrix that is filled with the numbers 1, 2, 3, ... n*n is a Magic Square if the sum of the elements in each row, in each column and in the two diagonals is the same value. For example
16 3 2 13
5 10 11 8
9 6 7 12
4 15 14 1
is a Magic Square. Write a program that reads n from the user and then prompts for n*n values, ensuring that each is between 1 and n*n.
:Check that each number occurs only once
:Check if the sums of the rows, columns and diagonals are equal
isplay the square on the screen
Based on these facts, inform the user whether the numbers form a Magic Square or not.
You must use 2-Dimensional static arrays! Use a 4x4 array.
